Leontodon pyrenaicus is a species of hawkbit found in the Alps, Pyrenees, Cantabrian Mountains, northern Apennines and northern parts of the Balkan Peninsula. It grows in meadows and on stony slopes from the tree line to over 3000 m, usually on acidic soils. It is perennial, and flowers from June to August.
The stems of L. pyrenaicus are narrow, up to 30 cm long, with several scale-like leaves, and with a single flower head at the top. The leaves form a basal rosette, and are clearly stalked. The flower heads are 20–20 mm wide and bright yellow.
L. pyrenaicus is divided into three allopatric subspecies which differ in their size and in the nature of the hairs on the bracts:
A number of authors since 2006, based on molecular evidence, have divided the genus Leontodon into two, with the former subgenus Oporinia split out into the genus Scorzoneroides. If this is done, L. pyrenaicus is placed in Scorzoneroides as S. pyrenaica. It is also common for the subspecies to be considered separate species, in which case they are called Leontodon cantabricus (or Scorzoneroides cantabrica), L. helveticus (S. helvetica) and L. pyrenaicus (S. pyrenaica).[1]

Leontodon pyrenaicus Gouan, a pour synonymes
Leontodon pyrenaicus se divise en trois sous-espèces à aires de répartition distinctes :
C'est une plante herbacée vivace qui n'atteint que 10 à 30 cm de haut.
Les feuilles toutes radicales (venant de la base), nettement pétiolées, sont oblongues lisses ou un peu velues. Les fleurs sont jaunes.
Le Liondent des Pyrénées est une plante des pâturages de montagne.
Le Liondent des Pyrénées est présent en Europe centrale et en Suisse.
En France métropolitaine, le Liondent des Pyrénées est présent dans trois départements d'Alsace, huit dans le Massif Central et à l'est de celui-ci et six dans les Pyrénées[1]. Suivant d'autres sources il serait aussi présent dans l'ensemble des départements alpins de façon continue depuis le Massif central. Cela montre une forte régression au cours des âges car il a été présent depuis le paléolithique et des stations ont été retrouvées sur l'ensemble de la France métropolitaine[2].
